Screws are the straw that will break the camels back?

Everyone knows torx are better anyway. They are less prone to stripping.

I used them on the house I built.

Any curious nerd will have torx bits already. Anyone else won't care enough to even want to open their Mac.

It's not just torx screws, there are Y shaped "tri-wing" screws as well. They're not even used for things in which need to be screwed, ie: the chassis for the hard drive. It's just one of many many things that Apple does that are user hostile, and that's just in hardware.
